116th Air Control Wing
2/11/2015 - ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- Food service professionals from the 116th Services Flight, Georgia Air National Guard, put their state-of-the-art mobile kitchen to good use during the February unit training assembly, providing hot meals to aircraft maintainers working the nightshift.
Providing a meal over the UTA provided an opportunity for the services flight not only to interact with the maintainers, but also gain valuable training and team building experience using their disaster relief mobile kitchen, according to the superintendent of the 116th Services Flight.
As the maintainers were on the flightline recovering an E-8C Joint STARS aircraft, the 116th Force Support Squadron's Services Flight was busy preparing barbecue chicken, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, coleslaw and rolls.
They provided dinner Saturday evening and a hot breakfast Sunday morning.
"It was nice to come straight from the flightline and get a good hot meal," said an Airman from the 116th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron.
The superintendent went on to share how the disaster relief mobile kitchen trailer, or DRMKT, provides the Georgia Guard a valuable resource to help out in a state emergency management situation.
"This opportunity has been weeks in the making and we have been excited about coming out here and showing the great work our team has been doing and support our maintenance group," said Lt. Col. Rebecca Gray, 116th Force Support Squadron commander.
The free-standing mobile kitchen is designed for fast setup and shutdown and can be deployed quickly to feed first responders during a natural or man-made disaster.
"Having the force support squadron come out tonight with their mobile kitchen and providing outstanding food for our maintainers, is a great example of what a team does," said Col. Lynn Morris, 116th Maintenance Group commander.
